Hoping Dr Brooks retires soon. Whole family used to see him, and now none of us do - for various reasons. I was the last to give up on him... during my first visit, he was irritable - I waited a while for him to come begin the exam, and when he did, he just started without any greeting or friendliness. That was fine, but there was make-up residue on the face thing and I very kindly asked him if we could wipe it before starting... he was irritated and wiped it hastily with a dry rag. I assumed it was a bad day. But when I came back to get my contacts, he again began without friendliness. He insisted that he be the one to put my contacts in, that I shouldn't try it myself - but he was pressing on my eyeball with his finger in a way that made it impossible to keep my eye open. I tried to explain it to him. After 3 attempts, he slammed the box of contacts on the counter, told me I just wasn't cooperating, and walked out of the room. My Rx was off anyway so I had to go somewhere else - out of my own pocket since Dr Brooks took my annual insurance-covered exam. That was over a year ago -- I had moved on from that experience until last week when I overheard someone in my doctor's waiting room saying they left Dr Brooks' office crying that morning!
